I'm trying to figure out what happened here, I wasn't sure if he died in the bathtub, in bed, or at a desk first. Looks like it's the bathtub, might as well get caught up with your letter writing while soaking in the tub right? XD Interesting piece overall, unfortunately all of the information regarding this painting is written in Dutch and is rather lengthy.
